The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting

Mother Liu was more and more impressed in her heart that the maids around Fifth Lady were also so knowledgeable about etiquette, which showed that she was good at managing people.

Mother Liu whispered to the girl, "Madam, the madam wants you to come over. She has something to ask you."

The girl's eyebrows could not help but move slightly, and she asked: "Mom, do you know what happened?"

She was also testing her relationship with Mother Liu. If they were close enough, Mother Liu would definitely tell her everything.

If Mother Liu was on guard against her, she would naturally not tell her.

Mother Liu frowned slightly and said, "It seems to be something related to the jade pendant... Madam, the fourth lady has gone back!"

It seemed that she didn't know much. She must have heard it secretly from Ruan Yuxi in the room.

The girl's fingertips gently fell on her waist and touched a shiny jade pendant.

Ruan Yuluan's heart sank in an instant.

When she went to pay her respects today, the maids were a little busy because she was sick again. The one she wore was not the sachet and jade pendant she usually wore, but this one... given to her by Yin Xu.

This is a jade pendant style for men, and the jade is extremely clear, soft and lustrous. It is obvious at first glance that it is not an ornament she can afford.

The madam had never given any reward... so where did it come from? It attracted a lot of attention.

She couldn't help but feel a little flustered. She didn't expect that she would be caught off guard by this...

The girl managed to calm herself down, responded softly, and called Qiu Xiu over.

"Please help me dress up," she smiled at Mama Liu. "It's not too cold now, but a little stuffy. My makeup will be ruined if I walk back. It will be embarrassing to see my wife."

"My lady, just wash up," said Mother Liu, who seemed not in a hurry to urge her, with a smile on her face, "It's still the hottest time of autumn! It's not good to be sweaty."

Ruan Yuluan smiled and nodded, then walked into the inner room. Qiu Xiu combed her hair again and heard her ask, "Where did Dong Yu go?"

Qiu Xiu inserted two silver hairpins into her hair and chuckled, "Where else can Dong Yu go? Madam wants to see her, I'll ask her to come in."

Soon, Dong Yu entered the inner room. The girl looked at her through the bronze mirror and gave instructions in a soft voice.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you had something to do at home and needed to go back? I've granted you leave, so go home now."

A hint of confusion appeared in Dong Yu's eyes, but when he saw her expression, he understood in an instant and responded happily.

"Yes, the servant knows."

Ruan Yuluan walked slowly into a warm room in the main courtyard. The lady wanted to meet her here today, perhaps because the matter was of great importance and she was afraid that her reputation would be damaged if it got out.

As soon as she walked around the screen, she saw the Madam sitting at the top, Ruan Yuxi sitting beside her, and the Third Lady and the Sixth Lady were also present, perhaps to intimidate them.

The fourth lady looked very proud and glanced at herself complacently.

She just stepped forward to pay her respects and greeted the lady, and she saw that the lady asked in a calm tone, without showing any emotion: "Luan Niang, where did the jade pendant on your waist come from?"

Hearing this, the girl seemed slightly surprised, and with some embarrassment she stretched out her fingertips to untie the jade pendant from her waist, holding it in her hand, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing her hesitation, Ruan Yuxi couldn't help but rush to accuse her: "Why don't you say anything, Fifth Sister? You have always been good at speaking!"

As he spoke, he made a comment to his wife, "Fifth sister doesn't dare to speak, which means this must be a token of love between her and her lover!"

"Fourth sister, your words are too arbitrary." The third lady couldn't help but speak up to defend her. Firstly, she was closer to Ruan Yuluan, and secondly, she had a knot in her heart about this matter.

Ruan Yufu frowned and said, "How can you prove that this is a token of lover's love? Fourth sister is probably trying to use this unfounded accusation to suppress and control fifth sister, right?"

Ruan Yuxi was furious: "You are talking nonsense——"

"Okay," the wife was annoyed by the quarrels of the young ladies, so she interrupted them and fixed her eyes on Ruan Yuluan who remained silent, "Fifth Lady, tell me where you got this thing?"

The girl still looked hesitant, as if saying it would be worse than not saying it.

She winked at Qiu Xiu, who was also frightened by today's situation. She quickly calmed herself down and stepped forward to report.

"Madam," she explained sadly, "I am originally from the main courtyard. Although I serve Fifth Lady, I am also considered a member of the main courtyard."

"Let me be fair... Fifth Lady really doesn't have a lover. I'm afraid Fourth Lady is just making up stories and misunderstanding her own sister."

The words deliberately emphasize "one's own sister" so as to make the fourth lady look like a person of low character who "fabricated lies to slander one's sister".
